Floatation Check

This document provides parameters and calculations for floatation checks of two underground structures: an underpass and an approach ramp. For the underpass, it lists input parameters like dimensions, material properties, and water levels. It then calculates the weight of the structure, pavement fill, backfill, and uplift force. It determines that the restrained force divided by the uplift force passes the floatation check. For the approach ramp, it begins listing similar input parameters to set up floatation calculations.
